cardiomyopathies
, Heart disease, which are inherited. Long
irregular heartbeat
often leads to heart failure, and in particularly severe cases, and sudden death. Diagnosis of the disease is difficult because of the lack of specific symptoms and a large number of genetically determined factors, which makes it rather expensive procedure.
Perhaps the situation will correct the discovery of German researchers from the University Hospital of Heidelberg. Also in development attended German Research Centre for cancer and biomedical companies from Germany. The proposed method of analysis DNA reveals negative changes in the genes that are responsible for cardiac weakness, with the lowest cost.
University Hospital physician Dr. Benjamin Meder explained that today there are about 50 genes that cause disorders in cardiomyopathy. The error in the genetic structure determines the heart muscle, and accordingly, and further actions of the attending physician. Which, based on the data analysis, will be able to choose the narrow-treatment and time to detect the need for installation Pacemaker .
The verification process includes all 50 known genes, identifying fragments which are responsible for the disease, the rest of the information is removed. Computer analysis of the finished genetic material allows almost immediately reveal root cause disease.
Today conducting such a survey is only available as part of a research project, but the preconditions for the mass use of this technique is already available.
